Bonjour,

Non, il semble que Siren soit en retard sur le standard Exif.

Hello,

Some modifiers can be applied to specific variables : "%nc" is one of them.
Here is an excerpt from the help file : Expression/Modifiers/Modifiers specific to some variables

For the selection numbers : %n, %np, %nc, %ncs, %ncf and %ncfs
the usage is : { p, s, i } 
p : size (a size set to 1 avoids any addition of zeros on the left) 
s : start 
i : step 

Appending "{3,15}" to the "%nc" variable in your expression should achieve what you expect :
IMG46 %Xdod photo_name %nc{3,15}.%e

Bonjour,

Désolé pour ma réponse tardive.

Ce problème peut se résoudre en ajoutant un modificateur à la fin de la dernière sous-expression : (",",".")
Son role sera de remplacer toutes les virgules par des points.

L'expression finale serait :
%Xdt%XSt%ncs-photos.jfg.free.fr%Xfl%Xet("/","_")%Xfniso%Xsr%Xmo%Yct.%e;%@f(",",".")

J'espère que cela pourra t'aider.

Hello Mr Man and welcome,

Siren current version can extract some metadata from one "email" file format only : eml
It doesn't support the number of attached files but a few other ones are handled.
Did I understand your question ?

Best regards,

Rémi

Hello Daffdaemon,

Even if it doesn't look like it, Siren is alive. Why ? Just because I am still using it.
There are still bugs I need to fix and changes I want to make. Until then I won't release a new version.
It will need time and motivation.

Thanks for your interest

Hello and welcome,

Have you tried to install Siren outside of a "system" Windows folder like the program one ? Do it in a personal data directory for example. This is what I do for all the no-install software I use.
To be honest, I have stopped trying to understand Windows access rights management.

Regards.

Rémi

Hello,

The column "Vid-Samprate" contains the audio sampling rate of the video file.
The next column "Vid-Mode" contains the numbers of channels of the same audio data.
The video bitrate is not extracted/computed.

Regards

I'll convert the help myself if I need it in this format.
Thanks anyway.

Hello and welcome,

Siren help is an external file named "siren.htb" and stored in the Siren's "locale" subdirectory.
You will have more details about it by looking at this topic explaining how to translate Siren.
I don't think I will make it available in "pdf" format.

Best regards

Hello,

There is maybe a solution to solve this two phase renaming (my siren skills are a bit rusty (sounds weird roll).
An alternative way to select the files in reverse order could be to select them when they are listed in reverse order.
To achieve this, the file list has to be "reversed" : just click on the "Current name" column header.

You may wonder : the order needed is the "numeric pattern" one, not the file names. Their prefixes can be different.
The solution is a bit tricky : as for any column, the files can be sorted on the "New name" one.
So, by entering an expression extracting the "numeric pattern" it could be used as sort key.
This sorting expression could be : %f(s/^.*?(\d+-\d+-\d+).*$/\1/)

Rémi

You can do this using a regular expression. This can replace the "%f(-11)" and handle any string following the numeric pattern  :

%f(s/^.* \d\d(-\d\d\d-\d\d.*)$/\1/)

You are right Stefan, I didn't think to this.

As Siren renames the files following the selection order, another solution could be to select them from the "highest" to the "lowest".
That way : 24 is renamed 25 then 23 is renamed 24 etc.

Thanks for your help.

Hello and welcome,

Here is what I've understood : you want to create "space" after a "group" (for example "19") by renaming the following files :
for example, from :
LName (PName) 19-400-07.txt
LName (PName) 19-400-09.txt
LName (PName) 20-200-01.txt
LName (PName) 20-400-01.txt
LName (PName) 20-400-02.txt
LName (PName) 21-400-01.txt
LName (PName) 22-400-01.txt
to :
LName (PName) 19-400-07.txt
LName (PName) 19-400-09.txt
LName (PName) 21-200-01.txt
LName (PName) 21-400-01.txt
LName (PName) 21-400-02.txt
LName (PName) 22-400-01.txt
LName (PName) 23-400-01.txt

Siren can achieve this using the following kind of renaming expression on the "20", "21" etc. groups :

%NN%N{2,1,1}%f(-11)

Here is a step by step explanation using two file names :
LName (PName) 20-400-02.txt
LName (PName) 21-400-01.txt

%NN : will extract the first non numeric character string
    "LName (PName) "
    "LName (PName) "
%N{2,1,1} : will extract the first numeric character string, add 1 to it and format the result on two characters
    "21" giving "LName (PName) 21"
    "22" giving "LName (PName) 22"
%f(-11) : will extract the last 11 characters of the file name
    "-400-02.txt" giving "LName (PName) 21-400-02.txt"
    "-400-01.txt" giving "LName (PName) 22-400-01.txt"

You can find more details in Siren's help.

Hoping this will answer your needs.

Hello Clavius,

Sorry for my late reply.
Can you please send me some of these files or deposit them somewhere ?
You can use the email address given in Siren's "?/About ..." menu option.

Thanks for your interest in this little program.

Hello John,

The issue you are facing is a library that has evolved since siren executable has been created.
To fix this we are going to download the right package, install and finally remove it.

I assume you use a 64-bit version of Ubuntu.
Open a "terminal" and type the following commands :

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb
rm libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb

You can now try to start siren again.

Hoping this will help.

Hello,

This date conversion feature uses a system function which uses the current system locale.
On GNU/Linux it is quite easy to overcome this.
First you have to install the "french" package then set the current language environment variable to french before starting Siren.
In you case, in a terminal, if you current directory is Siren's one :
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./siren

Regarding version 3.15, I am currently dedicating nearly all my free development time to MaTéléFree.
Siren is not dead smile

Hello Stefan,

Glad to hear from you.
Siren 2.01 has always been present on the site. Only recently did I remove it from the download pages.
Based on your request I have modified them to include the link back again.

Thanks again for your interest in this small tool.

Porting Siren to Android would require a lot of time and effort.
For now I don't think to work on this task but as Siren is licensed under GPL anyone can take over the job smile

This solution could be ok if the files to rename have been tagged by the same software.
If any I hope to find something more user friendly.
Don't bother to send me the file. It should be fine.

Hello and welcome to this forum,

The problem with the tags is the interpretation done by the different software of the different formats.
There are no real standards.
If you use software A to set AlbumArtist in a M audio file doesn't mean another one will do the same the exact same way.
For software like Siren it is difficult to extract what a user expects.
I add your request to my todo list.

Can you send me one of the files you are talking about ?
You can use the email address present in Siren's "?/About" window.

Regards

Hello,

I've unsuccessfully retried to reproduce the crash.
I'll look at this closer when I'll come back to Siren.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Remi

Hello,

The crash seems to happen when you do what you call "switch to next group of folders".
What do you mean exactly and how do you do it ?

Thanks

Remi

PS: you can mail me by clicking the address present in the "?/About ..." window
